Chapter 2: Lessons Learned
Hey everyone! What's up? It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I may have forgotten to mention this last time, but D.J. Scales is helping me Beta Read the future chapters of this fanfic, so yeah. I know that it's been a while and all, but I'm ready to rock and roll! Disclaimer time!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. I also do not own Rose, Sara, Caitlyn, Lily, Chris, John, or Winston. Credit goes to D.J. Scales
Wow, that's a lot of OC's. Anyhow, this is going to begin in Dawn's point of view, and enjoy.
I was walking through the gates with Akiza when she suddenly started running.
"Leo! Luna!" Akiza exclaimed.
"Hey! Aki! Slow down a notch!" I exclaimed as I chased after her.
"Hey there Akiza." said Leo
"Hey back at ya." said Akiza
"Akiza. Seriously, don't run off like that." I said as I began catching my breath
"Huh, Sakura? I thought you didn't attend Duel Academy." Said Leo
"That's because she doesn't. I'm Dawn." I said as I caught my breath
"Oh. Whoops." Said Leo
"Akiza, we saw you wipe the dome floor with that Anderson kid yesterday." Said Luna
"You were awesome! And you know what, by the end of the day; you and I are gonna be fellow members in the best in class club." Said Leo
"Hey, if it isn't Sakura Phoenix." Sneered a female voice
"Here we go again." Sighed Akiza
"Aw, sticking around the witch aren't we Phoenix?" asked Krystal as she walked up
"For the umpteenth time! My name is Dawn! I'm not my sister!" I exclaimed
"Oh please, your sister's in the ground, just like where you'll be when I wipe the floor with you today in class!" Krystal sneered as she ran inside the building
"Now I can see why Sakura hates her." Said Luna
"Trust me, you have no idea." I said
Later in class, my Destiny Hero- Plasma got the last of her life points.
"And the winner is Dawn!" exclaimed Rose
With a flourish, I pulled off the cards on my duel disk, and threw back her Cyber Prima. Just then, the doors opened, revealing our substitute teacher, Chris. He was a recent graduate of Duel Academy, just like Sakura. He had black hair, brown eyes, and unlike the rest of us, wasn't wearing the Duel Academy uniform. Some of the people in the class call him 'Kenshin' though. Maybe it's because of the hairstyle.
"Hey everyone, sorry I'm late. Traffic was terrible in front of the school. So, were you guys waiting long?" asked Chris
"No, we were too busy watching Krystal getting her deck wiped, again." Replied Sara
The whole class laughed as Krystal looked up with her cheeks puffed.
"Well, all jokes aside, this week, our lesson is on Warrior-type decks. Anyone here duel with a warrior deck?" asked Chris
"Well, other than Dawn, I guess I'm the only other that came prepared." Said a female voice
I turned to see Karen Tsukimori. She looks a lot like the girl from the other night. Same height, same hair colors, and even the same eye colors. The only difference is that she wears her hair in ringlets.
"Alright Karen. You ready?" asked Chris
"Please, I was born ready." Said Karen
"Let's duel!" Karen and Chris exclaimed in unison
Karen LP 4000/ Chris LP 4000
"You can go first." Said Karen
"Thanks. I'll set a monster down in defense mode. After that, I'll place two cards face-down to end my turn." Said Chris
Karen LP 4000/ Chris LP 4000
"I'm up then. I summon Lady Ninja Yae in attack mode! (ATK: 1100/ DEF: 200/ LV: 3) And I'll activate her special ability! I'll discard my Air Armor Ninja from my hand so all of your face-downs are sent back to your hand! Now I think I'll attack your monster!" exclaimed Karen
"That was Shien's Footsoldier (ATK: 700/ DEF: 300/ LV: 2) that you just destroyed. Now his special ability can now activate! Because he was destroyed in battle, I can special summon one Level 3 or below 'Six Samurai' monster from my deck, and the monster I choose is Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 3)" exclaimed Chris
"Oh well. Lesson learned the hard way. I'll end my turn with a couple of face-downs." Said Karen
Karen LP 4000/ Chris LP 4000
"I'm up then. And because I have Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho on the field, I can special summon Legendary Six Samurai – Shinai from my hand! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1500/ LV: 3)" exclaimed Chris
"Wait for one minute! I activate the trap Armor Ninjutsu Art of Rust Mist! Because I control a 'Ninja' monster, all monsters you special summon have their attack points cut in half. (ATK: 750)" said Karen
"Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. Anyway, I summon to the field The Six Samurai – Nisashi! (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 700/ LV: 4) Now then Nisashi, attack Lady Ninja Yae!" exclaimed Chris
"Sorry, but you'll have to deal with my Ninja Smoke Ball! When a 'Ninja' monster I control is selected as an attack target, I can negate the attack!" exclaimed Karen
"Well it doesn't matter, Nisashi can attack twice as long as there's another Six Samurai on the field!" exclaimed Chris
"I kinda forgot about that." Karen sheepishly admitted
Karen LP 3700/ Chris LP 4000
"Now Mizuho and Shinai can attack you directly!" exclaimed Chris
Karen LP 1450/ Chris LP 4000
"I'll end my turn with the two face-downs from earlier." Said Chris
Karen LP 1450/ Chris LP 4000
"I'm up now. And I summon Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 4) Now, it's time for you to attack! Attack Shinai!" exclaimed Karen
"I don't think so. I activate Sakuretsu Armor! Your attack is negated and Goe Goe is destroyed!" exclaimed Chris
"I'll end my turn with this face-down." Said Karen
Karen LP 1450/ Chris LP 4000
"This is it! Alright, Shinai, attack her directly!" exclaimed Chris
"Sorry, but you have to get through A Hero Emerges first! So, pick a card." Said Karen
"The one on my left." Said Chris
"Oh well. It's not going to help me. But I special summon Crimson Ninja in defense mode. (ATK: 300/ DEF: 300/ LV: 1)" said Karen
"Shinai can still attack and destroy your monster. Now Nisashi, attack! Take out the rest of her life points!" exclaimed Chris
Karen LP 0/ Chris LP 4000
"And the winner is Kenshin!" exclaimed Rose
"Well, what do you expect? When its samurai's versus ninjas, the samurai always wins. Right Kenshin?" asked Winston
"Not necessarily. It doesn't matter what archetype you use in your decks. What matters is how you execute your strategies. That's it for lesson one today. Now time to get serious." Said Chris
After school…
Leo, Luna, Matt, and I were walking together because we were going to see how Sakura and the others were working on the engine. Though, from Sakura has told, it's not going to well. Frankly, if I knew more about this stuff, I'd probably be able to help.
"Hey Leo! Wait up!" exclaimed a male voice
We all turned to see some friends of Leo's from his class.
"Are you going where I think you're going?" asked Dexter
"Yeah. You guys wanna come?" asked Leo
"You bet we do!" Bob and Patty exclaimed in unison
"Um, maybe you should go home and study up about warrior decks." Said Luna
"I'll do that later." Said Leo
Someone passed by us, and his hairstyle… well, let's just Sakura's gonna have some bad flashbacks about a certain someone.
"Um, hey Sly. We're all gonna hang out at our friend's. You, uh, you wanna tag along?" asked Luna
"Please, I'm not the tag along type. But you guys have a good time being brain dead lame wads." Said Sly
"Did winter come early? Because it just got cold." I said
"That was harsh indeed." Said Luna
"He's the lame brain wad." Said Leo
"I think that's the first time I heard him speak." Said Dexter
"And hopefully the last. Now let's get going. I cannot wait to meet these guys." Said Bob
"Yeah. I've been wanting to meet Yusei since he won the Fortune Cup! And I've wanted to meet Sakura for a long, long time!" exclaimed Patty
Third Person P.O.V.
Little did they know, Sara, Rose, Caitlyn, John, Winston, and Lily overheard that last statement.
"They're going to see Yusei Fudo and Sakura Phoenix?" wondered Lily
"Why don't we follow them?" asked Sara
"You know, you have some great ideas sis." Said Rose
Just as they reached the Academy gates, there was a crowd of students waiting for them. And the others turned around to see.
"Oh man. That crowd must be as thick as a Labyrinth Wall." Said Dawn
"Then let's get going before it becomes one." Said Dexter
Sakura's P.O.V.
Jack just fired up the engine, and surprisingly, for once in my life, I didn't have as bad as a feeling as I did usually.
"Engine's remote synergy holding steady at eighty." Said Yusei
"What? What happened to the power surge? The output's still in the red! Where's that energy going?-!" exclaimed Crow
"Who cares? It's fixed, that's what counts. Listen to that engine. It's purring like a happy little kitten." Said Jack
"Actually, the surge has been rerouted." I said as I inputted some numbers onto my computer
"Rerouted?" asked Crow
"To where?" asked Jack
He got his answer when the card dealer went nuts and threw cards everywhere.
"Oh come on!" exclaimed Crow
Apparently the engine let off some steam, and Zora came in.
"Quiet down! I told you, between the hours of 2 and 5 my soap operas are on. And I can't hear them when you rapscallions are in here making a ruckus!" exclaimed Zora
"Sorry Zora." I said
"So what's happening with Gale and Eternal Flame?" asked Crow
"Has she recovered from her amnesia and found true love yet?" asked Jack
"The next one to mock my soaps will clean this garage with a toothbrush!" exclaimed Zora
Crow and Jack recoiled in fear.
"We're sorry about the racket Zora." Said Yusei
"Yeah, we really are." I said
"Oh Yusei, Sakura, you two are such dolls. Having you two stay here has been a treat. You remind me so of my Reginald. That dear boy was such a charmer when he was your age. As for you two, you're skating on very thin ice with me! One wrong move and you'll be sleeping on the streets with the rats!" exclaimed Zora
She slammed the door behind her. I hope we don't have to deal with more of her now. I won't admit it, but she scares me!
"Well, she's in a good mood today." Jack said sarcastically
"Oh Yusei, Sakura, you were just like my dear sweet Reginald. Have I mentioned him yet in the last 15 minutes?" Crow asked while doing a very poor impression of Zora
"Cut the lady some slack Crow. She's letting you guys stay here for free." I said
"Yeah, yeah. Speaking of which, I guess somebody has to clean up this mess." Said Crow
The doors then burst open, revealing Leo, Luna, Dawn, Matt, and some others.
"Yusei!" exclaimed Leo
"We brought some friends over." Said Luna
"Perfect." Said Crow
"Hey guys." Said Yusei
"You're just in time." Said Crow
"Watch where you're running!" exclaimed Jack
"We're just in time for what Crow? Another one of your 'big ideas'?" asked Matt
"You have no idea. Huh? Dawn, what are you doing here? I thought you would be staying after." I said
"The teacher isn't here this week, so I'm free." Said Dawn
"I see." I said
"Hey, didn't you guys just clean up yesterday?" asked Leo
"What happened? Did something blow up again?" asked Luna
"Yeah, sorta." Said Yusei
"There's a problem with the sub-generator ZBS output." Said Crow
"Sweet! A Duel Runner! Check it out." Said one of Leo's friends
"I've never been so close to one." Said the blonde haired girl
"Can I touch it?" asked Dexter
"No way. This is not some little toy." Said Jack
"Please take me out for a spin." Begged the boy with brown hair
"And then me." Said the girl with blonde hair
"If I won't let you touch it, why would I ever do that?" asked Jack
"Here's the deal, the one who picks up the most cards gets to go for a ride first." Said Crow
"Really?" all three of them asked in unison
"I'm not taking anyone for a ride! They're just children!" exclaimed Jack
"Children are the future! What'd you guys waiting for? Hop to it." Said Crow
Soon, we all got to work on picking up the cards on the floor.
"So, I sorta blew it today in class Yusei." Said Leo
"And now I can understand why you don't like that Krystal girl. She is annoying with a capital A." said Dawn
"I call her the b-word with a capital B." I said
"You did, huh?" asked Yusei
"He blows it every day in class." Said a male voice
I turned to see someone in the doorway. Great, someone else with Sayer's hairstyle.
"Sly." Said Luna
"I thought you were off being cool." Said Leo
"Wait, don't listen to my brother. I'm glad you came by. Come on in. This is Sly. He's in my trump card class. He's a great duelist. Aren't you Sly?" asked Luna
"Good to meet ya." Said Yusei
"So you're the great Yusei, and you must be Fiery Justice, Sakura. You two don't seem that great to me." Said Sly
"Well that's nice." Said Leo
"You know, I thought we'd never get that crowd off our backs." Said a female voice
"You can say that again Rose." Said a male voice
We turned to see six others in the doorway.
"Winston, John, Caitlyn, Lily, Rose, Sara. What are you guys doing here?" asked Dawn
"Winston? This guy wouldn't happen to be the Winston Anderson guy that you said that you… mmph!" I exclaimed as Dawn put her hand over my mouth
"What are you talking about Sakura?" Dawn asked while nervously laughing
"Well, before your sister got talking, we were just in the area, and well, we saw you guys come in." said Rose
"Why's everybody standing around flapping their mouths?-! Less yapping, more picking up!" exclaimed Crow
Everyone, even Rose, Sara, Winston, Caitlyn, John, and Lily began picking up cards off the floor.
"Has anyone found Stardust Dragon yet?" asked Yusei
"Uh, is that this one?" asked Sly
"Let me see. Yeah, thanks." Said Yusei
Everyone else didn't seem to notice, but Sly had his eyes on Stardust.
The next day…
I was at home researching more about the Seal of Orichalcos when I was on the Kaiba Corp. webpage. When I typed in the card name, I was met with restricted access.
"Restricted access? Does Kaiba Corp. know something about this?" I wondered
I was about to hack into the site when my phone rang.
"This is Sakura Phoenix." I said
"Hey Sakura, you busy?" asked Yusei
"Well, other than looking for more info on the Seal of Orichalcos, not really. So, why are you calling?" I asked
"I need your help with something. You see, I kinda have a job to do at Duel Academy." Said Yusei
"Duel Academy?" I wondered
Meanwhile, Third Person P.O.V.
Leo's and Luna's entire class groaned and booed at the news the Vice-Chancellor just gave.
"Silence! Rudolph Heittman will not be interrupted by his lowly subordinates!" exclaimed Heittman
"You're expelling our whole class?" asked Patty
"What's up with that Heittman? What did we do wrong?" asked Bob
"Last semester, the academic performance of this school rose up into the stratosphere of excellence like a lead balloon. And for those of you a little too slow to comprehend sarcasm and metaphor that means that it did not rise up! It plummeted to the depths of mediocrity faster than you can say failure! And it's because of your class!" exclaimed Heittman
"Excuse me sir, but with all due respect, these kids are enthusiastic duelists. They want to learn and they will. I can vouch for their skill and potential." Said Ms. Bartlet
"You see skill in this lot? Perhaps you are part of the problem Ms. Bartlet." Said Heittman
"Me? That's not true." Said Ms. Bartlet
"Perhaps I'll suggest to the Chancellor that we should reevaluate our teacher criteria and then weed out our faculty accordingly." Said Heittman
"Go ahead Heittman. I'm not ashamed of my track record." Said Ms. Bartlet
"It's not Ms. Bartlet. We just haven't been giving it our best." Said Luna
"But give us a little more time and let us prove to you we're duelists." Said Leo
"You've had plenty of time to prove yourself and you failed, especially you! You're at the bottom of the bottom of the bottom Leo! And I'll tell you something else…" started Heittman
He was cut off when Akiza, Dawn, Matt, Winston, John, Sara, Rose, Lily, and Caitlyn entered the room.
"Akiza. Dawn, Matt." Said Leo
"Attention Cretans. Please welcome some real duelists." Said Heittman
"You can't expel this class Heittman." Said Akiza
"I completely agree with her." Said Dawn
"Same here." Said Matt
"What are you three talking about? I would think one boasting such discipline and aptitude such as yourselves would certainly endorse my decision to jettison these parasites from our ranks." Said Heittman
"How can you call yourself a teacher when you're willing to give up on the kids you're supposed to be teaching?" Rose and Sara asked in unison
"Uh-oh." Said Luna
"Uh-oh's right. Akiza and Dawn get too worked up; this whole place will come crashing down." Said Leo
"Uh, excuse me." Said Yusei
"Knock, knock, anybody home?" asked Sakura
"Yusei? Sakura?" asked Leo
"Well ring my bell and sing me a ditty. It's the Fortune Cup champion and the Twilight Princess." Said Heittman
Sakura glared at him when her old title was mentioned.
"I stand corrected! I meant to say 'Fiery Justice'." Heittman said while a tad bit scared
The whole class erupted in cheers when they saw Yusei and Sakura.
"What is it that brings you two to the once prestigious walls of Duel Academy?" asked Heittman
"He came here to do some repair work." Sakura said while pointing at Yusei
"What? Come again?" asked Heittman
"I was told there was something malfunctioning in this classroom and that I should fix it if I could." Said Yusei
"And I just decided to drop in for a visit." Said Sakura
"I see. Well, I hope you aren't deluding to these rather pitiful groupers gathered before me. I'm afraid this sorry bunch of students is beyond repair!" exclaimed Heittman
"That's not true! This class is full of potential!" exclaimed Ms. Bartlet
"You know what, if you seriously wanna kick out this entire class because you don't think they're good enough, then whatever! But if they go, then I go with them." Said Akiza
"What she said!" exclaimed Dawn
"Yeah!" Matt, Winston, John, Lily, Rose, Sara, and Caitlyn exclaimed in unison
"Do you think that's gonna stop me? This academy can't indulge whims of every wannabe nimrod who only knows how to use worthless low-level cards. Look at the sad roster of monsters these runts are toying with week after week! It's an embarrassment! They can't handle real monsters, which means they can't handle a real duel, which means they have no real abilities! They're beyond teaching!" exclaimed Heittman
"I don't know what's going on, but I think the way you're talking about dueling is kinda messed up." Said Yusei
"He's always been like that." Said Sakura
"My sincere apologies. I didn't realize you were on the Duel Academy faculty. Oh wait, you're not, so I don't care what you think! Now scoter along and repair whatever it is you came here to repair!" exclaimed Heittman
"I was asked to fix something called a Rudolph Heittman. Do you know where that is?" asked Yusei
"What? The Rudolph Heittman?" asked Heittman
"Wait, don't tell me, it's got a few screws loose, unreliable, and talks too much during faculty meetings." Said Sakura
"How'd you know that?" asked Yusei
"Because Heittman over there sounds like he needs to be taken to the repair shop." Sakura said while pointing at Heittman
Heittman started flailing his hands around with an angry look on his face.
"Him?" asked Yusei
"Heittman's the Vice-Chancellor." Said Luna
"And he's planning on expelling our entire class from the academy!" exclaimed Leo
"He thinks we're not good enough to be here." Said Patty
"He isn't giving us a chance." Said Bob
"Okay. I think I get it now. I was sent here to fix something, and that's what I'm gonna do. Hey Heittman, you wanna duel? If I win then this entire class gets to stay at Duel Academy." Said Yusei
"And if you lose, then these peons will spend the rest of the semester shopping around for an institution willing to accept them! See you at the Battle Dome in ten." Said Heittman
He stormed out of the classroom with an angry look on his face.
Later on, Sakura's P.O.V.
"So the future of the class is in Yusei's hands. Do you think he can handle the Vice-Chancellor?" asked Ms. Bartlet
"Well, um, he once saved the entire city from total destruction, so yeah; I think he can handle Heittman." Said Akiza
"Well if Sakura could handle him, so can Yusei. She beat him in a duel once." Said Dawn
"I more or less got lucky to be honest. I heard rumors that he has an ultra-rare card in his deck, so it's not gonna be easy." I said
"What's not gonna be easy?" asked a female voice
I turned to see a girl with purple hair with pink highlights in ringlets, one pink and one magenta eye, and was wearing the Duel Academy uniform. There was a guy with her who had black hair and brown eyes, but he wasn't wearing the academy uniform. Did he graduate or something recently? I glared at her. She looked too much like the girl from the other night.
"Karen, Chris." Said Dawn
"So, what's going on?" asked Karen
"Heittman's planning on expelling the entire lower class, so Yusei's going to duel him so that he doesn't." said Akiza
"So that's what the ruckus was about earlier." Said Chris
"Don't worry. I've only been beaten by Yusei in a duel. I'm sure he can win this one." I said
At the Battle Dome…
"You're about to experience the overwhelming magnitude of my Vanguard deck." Said Heittman
"Let's duel!" Heittman and Yusei exclaimed in unison
Yusei LP 4000/ Heittman LP 4000
"Save our class Yusei!" exclaimed the short-haired boy
"We're routing for you!" exclaimed the blonde-haired girl
"I hope ya studied. For my first move I'm summoning Flamvell Guard in defense mode! (ATK: 100/ DEF: 2000/ LV: 1)" exclaimed Yusei
"Alright! Flamvell Guard, you rock!" exclaimed the boy
"You play with Flamvells too?" I asked
"Well, yeah." Said the boy
"Cool. Maybe someday I can give you some tips on how to use them." I said
"That'll be awesome!" exclaimed the boy
"That's it for this turn. Let's see what you've got." Yusei said as he placed two face-downs
Yusei LP 4000/ Heittman LP 4000
"Let's see what I got? You open up by summoning a pathetic little Tuner monster to the field, and you wanna see what I got? Well, since you asked, I'll show you! Oh sweet, sweet, fortuity." said Heittman
"This can't be good." I said
"I summon Ancient Gear Statue to the field! (ATK: 500/ DEF: 800/ LV: 2) And now, with the help of Ancient Gear Statue, I shall teach you a rudimentary lesson that you seem to have never learned." Said Heittman
"This doesn't sound too good." Luna, Leo, and Dexter said in unison
"While you can trance about emanating all the fighting spirit your itsy-bitsy heart can muster, but when all is said and done, send a weak monster to do a real monster's job, and you'll always lose. To aptly demonstrate the truth behind this simple fact, I shall now activate the Machine Duplication spell! With this spell, I can summon as many weak Machine-type monsters as I want, and I just happen to have two more Ancient Gear Statues." Said Heittman
"Something tells me he's not stopping there." Said Leo
"I'm not stopping there! For you see, for every Ancient Gear Statue I discharge from the field, I can summon in its place, how can I say this, a monster with a little more 'oomph'." Said Heittman
"Like what?" asked Yusei
He got his answer when Heittman summoned three monsters, monsters I recognized.
"How about, not one, not two, but three Ancient Gear Golems! ((ATK: 3000/ DEF: 3000/ LV: 8) X 3)" I exclaimed
"Well those things are gigantic!" exclaimed the boy with short hair
"I've never even heard of that monster!" exclaimed Luna
"I've read about it before in books, but I'm talking about books written by masters from like years and years ago, and even they hadn't seen one!" exclaimed Dexter
"So if these are such rare legendary cards, how does our Vice-Chancellor have them?" asked Leo
"Tenure has its privileges. This card has been passed down over the years to only the elitists of the elite here at Duel Academy. This is power students. There's nothing wrong with having weak monsters in your deck, isn't that right Gemstone Warrior, Ritual Maiden, hmm?" asked Heittman
"Watch your mouth!" exclaimed Winston
"Exactly what he said!" exclaimed Lily
"No matter, but if weak monsters are all you have and all you know how to use, then, well that's precisely why you're being expelled from Duel Academy! Because you're not real duelists!" exclaimed Heittman
"Newsflash pal, having powerful monsters doesn't guarantee you a win. A real duelist would know that." Said Yusei
"Ha! Maybe not, but having them guarantees you certain defeat. To illustrate my point, I will now commence a full frontal assault. Brace yourself Yusei." Said Heittman
"I'll brace myself alright by activating my trap card, Tuner's Barrier! This forms a protective shield around my Tuner monster. Now you can't damage it." Said Yusei
"Ha! You try but it won't do you any good, for when Ancient Gear Golem battles a monster in defense mode, you still take the difference as damage. Allow me to demonstrate. Ancient Gear Golem number one, attack Flamvell Guard!" exclaimed Heittman
Yusei LP 3000/ Heittman LP 4000
"And then, number two follows up with a smashing attack of its own." Said Heittman
Yusei LP 2000/ Heittman LP 4000
"Now poor number three is feeling left out! I can't have that! Go forth number three! Smash away!" exclaimed Heittman
Yusei LP 1000/ Heittman LP 4000
"He lost 3000 life points." Said Akiza
"Come on Yusei!" Leo, Luna, and Dexter exclaimed in unison
"And now, to complete my lesson, I'm activating the Level Thunder spell card! This spell slams you with damage equal to the total level of my monsters multiplied by 100!" exclaimed Heittman
"That's not good! Yusei doesn't have life points to spare!" I exclaimed
"Let's hope he has something in place for this." Said Akiza
"If he doesn't this is over, right?" asked Luna
"Come on Yusei, don't let him win!" exclaimed Ms. Bartlet
"Combos like this are why you can't fiddle around with puny little monsters. You have to be strong to survive!" exclaimed Heittman
Lighting came from the card and headed for Yusei.
"Look out Yusei!" Leo and Luna exclaimed in unison
"This could be it." Said Akiza
"Yusei, you are about to be dismissed." Said Heittman
"Incoming!" Leo and Luna exclaimed in unison
"Not so fast. By discarding Hanewata from my hand, I can protect myself!" exclaimed Yusei
"There we go! I knew it wasn't over yet!" exclaimed the girl with blond hair
Yusei LP 1000/ Heittman LP 4000
"So you held on with the help of another feeble monster. You're quite persistent Yusei. You have the tenacity of a cockroach, but I step on cockroaches!" exclaimed Heittman
"It's good he held out and all, but… the way things are going…" started Dexter
"I know." Said Luna
Yusei then turned around to look at us.
"Don't worry guys. I've got a couple lessons of my own." Said Yusei
He then turned to face Heittman again.
"You've made your case Heittman, but I'm not buying it! And now it's my turn to teach you a lesson!" exclaimed Yusei
"Ha! With what? You've got three golems towering over you, and the only thing standing in their way is a lowly little tuner monster. Oh, oh I get it. Is this a lesson on losing gracefully?" asked Heittman
"I'm afraid not! I'm activating Cards of Consonance! By sending one Tuner monster in my hand to the graveyard, I can use this spell to draw two more cards from my deck!" exclaimed Yusei
"I was unaware that Tuners could be used in such a manner." Said Heittman
"Bad news Heittman." Said Yusei
"What?" asked Heittman
"I summon Eccentric Boy! (ATK: 800/ DEF: 200/ LV: 3) And when I use it to Synchro Summon, I can choose the other monster I need directly from my hand, and I choose Turret Warrior! Now Eccentric Boy, give Turret Warrior a tune up!" exclaimed Yusei
"What in the what?-! You can tune a monster that's not even present on the field?-!" exclaimed Heittman
"Of course. I would think a real duelist would know that. Clustering wishes become a shining new star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take Flight, Stardust Dragon! (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000/ LV: 8) I Synchro Summon, Stardust Dragon!" exclaimed Yusei
"Aw yeah!" exclaimed Dexter
"This is the brightest day of my life." Said the boy with short hair
"That dragon is awesome!" exclaimed the blonde-haired girl
"Yeah, but the Ancient Gear Golems have more attack points. If there's not more to his strategy, Yusei's out in the next move." Said Akiza
"Yusei, if they could, my Ancient Gear Golems would laugh at your sad infinitesimal dragon. That lizard's no match for their might! Even the Dragon Princess, Jurassic Tamer, and Machine Lord can do better than that!" exclaimed Heittman
Sara, Rose, and John looked kinda ticked at the comment.
"Wrong again Heittman." Said Yusei
"What?-!" exclaimed Heittman
"You're right that head-to-head that Stardust Dragon couldn't destroy one of your Ancient Gear Golems, so it's a good thing for me there's a lot more to dueling than straight up battles. From my hand, I play the Variety Comes Out spell card! By returning Stardust Dragon to my deck, I can summon as many Tuner monsters from my graveyard as I want, as long as their combined levels equals Stardust Dragon's." said Yusei
"Wait, what?" wondered Heittman
"I resurrect Eccentric Boy, Hanewata (ATK: 200/ DEF: 300/ LV: 1) and Debris Dragon! (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 2000/ LV: 4)" exclaimed Yusei
"Absurd. You're doing this all backwards Yusei. You're supposed to implore your lowly little peon monsters to pave the way to a high level summon. You're almost exactly like the Soaring Enchantress." Said Heittman
Caitlyn was now the one who was ticked off.
"You don't summon a monster like Stardust Dragon and then… *gasp!* Those are… I know those monsters!" exclaimed Heittman
"That's right. These monsters about to take you down, they belong to the class you want to expel! They're the monsters you called worthless!" exclaimed Yusei
"I don't care how many cards you have! Weakness is still weakness! And those weak monsters cannot take on my powerful golems!" exclaimed Heittman
"Which is why they won't be taking on your golems! I activate the Tuner's Explosion trap! By destroying the same number of monsters on my field as you have on your field, I can destroy your monsters at the same time!" exclaimed Yusei
"What?-! Impossible!" exclaimed Heittman
Flamvell Guard, Hanewata, and Eccentric Boy were chosen to take out those golems.
"Inconceivable! All three Golems crashing down at the same time?-! It's unfathomable!" exclaimed Heittman
"And now, for every monster just destroyed, you take 1000 points of damage." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 1000/ Heittman LP 1000
"And since Debris Dragon is still hanging around on the field, it goes in for a direct attack!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 1000/ Heittman LP 0
"Alright!" Leo, Luna, and Dexter exclaimed in unison
"He did it! I knew he could!" exclaimed the boy with short hair
"And he did it with our monsters guys. Our monsters defeated the Vice-Chancellor!" exclaimed the blonde-haired girl
We all ran to meet up with him on the duel field.
"Impossible. How could I falter with my Vanguard Deck? Never could I ever conceive that such low level monsters can have so much potential." Said Heittman
"Don't you get it? That's why you lost Heittman, because you underestimated my monsters, just like you underestimate this entire class. They may have not mastered the higher ups yet, but they believe in their cards and they believe in themselves." Said Yusei
"And that's what dueling's all about." Said a male voice
"You again?" asked Yusei
"If I could've demonstrated that myself, I would've, but I'm just an administrator." Said the man
"Uh, Chancellor!" exclaimed Heittman
"Chancellor?" asked Yusei
"That's right. Personally, I wanted to fire Heittman, but one of our biggest donors just happens to be his mother, who he still lives with." Said the Chancellor
"If you were teetering on the verge of firing me sir, why didn't you just come to me and say something?" asked Heittman
"I tried, but as usual, you didn't listen." Said the Chancellor
"I understand. It seems that I've been an impudent blockhead." Said Heittman
The rest of the kids then ran up to Yusei.
"But I'm still the one in charge of expulsions, and I'm revoking all of yours." Said Heittman
"Duel Academy gives you thanks Yusei." Said the Chancellor
I'm glad I was able to get a break from the Orichalcos business, and yet, I still can't rest just yet. It's high time I paid Sartorius a visit.
Third Person P.O.V.
The Orichalcos gang was in a helicopter above the temple of Atlantis.
"Welcome home guys." Said Akane
Akane was the girl with purple hair and with heterochromia.
"Just because you've been here longer than we have, doesn't mean you always call it home." Said Asami
"Give it a rest Asami. Point is she's the one who knows the way." Said Maxwell
"That's true Max." said Antea
Akane just landed the helicopter on the helipad, and they all exited to retreat inside. They were now inside the room where the mysterious figure was.
"You've done well. I must admit, I didn't think you'd be going up against that Signer, Sakura Phoenix." Said the figure
"Is there something against it Master?" asked Antea
"Of course not. What matters is that you're all back safe and sound." Said the figure
"And we don't like coming back empty-handed either." Said Akane
She handed a box with the Sacred Beasts in them to the figure, which could be now classified as a female with black hair.
"Excellent. The God Cards were used before to power the Orichalcos, but now, the world shall tremble with the might of the Sacred Beasts!" exclaimed the figure
She laughed evilly as lightning flashed in the Dominion of the Beasts.
"Impossible." Said the Dark Magician Girl
"Is there something wrong?" asked Timeaus
"It's our greatest fear. The Orichalcos has returned." Said the Dark Magician Girl
"So, we can just go at them like before!" exclaimed Critias
"Critias, they are stronger than before. We'll need to find someone who can awaken Yunalesca." Said the Dark Magician Girl
"But how?" asked Hermos
"By finding four new legendary warriors." Answered the Dark Magician Girl
And the plot thickens so they say, but above and all, I'm finally done! Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
